Claude HUD

Status line for Claude Code showing context, rate limits, tools and agents

  • AI coding agents
View on GitHub

What it is

A Claude Code plugin that replaces the status line with a heads-up display below your input. It shows the active model, project path and git branch, a context-window fill bar, and subscriber rate-limit usage, with optional lines for running tools, subagents, and todo progress. Developers who spend long sessions in Claude Code use it to see at a glance how close they are to context or usage limits. Layout, colors, git details, and label language are set through a guided configure command or a JSON file.
